Bishkek International School, a private non-profit institution that opened in September 1994, offers high quality education in the English language for preschool, Kindergarten, elementary, middle, and secondary students. In August of 2004 the school moved into a newly renovated building which is located in a park like setting just minutes from the center of the city. The new facility has play areas, soccer field, covered basketball court, cafeteria, computer lab, library, an early childhood center and sufficient classrooms to accommodate a quality curriculum for children from 2 years of age through secondary school.

The school's educational philosophy, which includes a personalized approach to instruction, leads to teaching for mastery. We believe in success for all students. We seek to create a positive learning environment since we believe a child learns more if he enjoys his learning experience.

THE PRIMARY PURPOSE of the school is to meet the needs of the children in Bishkek who require this type of education with a view to continuing their education in their home countries with a minimum of adjustment problems. This program is also offered to Kyrgyzstani citizens who seek this education with a view to higher studies outside of Kyrgyzstan. In addition to its scholastic goals, the school endeavors to provide its students with knowledge of Kyrgyzstan.

THE CURRICULUM includes English (reading, grammar, composition, keyboarding, and spelling), mathematics, cultural studies (history, geography, economics, etc.), science, computer literacy, art, music, and physical education as part of the regular program. Textbooks are loaned to students without charge.
